Indian Travellers Can Now Visit Iran Without Visa: Conditions Apply

The Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in New Delhi on Tuesday announced that Indian citizens no longer have to get visas to travel to Iran.

People with Indian passports can now visit Iran without a visa every six months for 15 days.

"individuals holding ordinary passports will be allowed to enter the country without a visa once every six months, with a maximum stay of 15 days. It is important to note that the 15-day period cannot be extended," a statement said.

The statement said that the visa abolition only applies to individuals entering the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran for tourism purposes.

"If Indian nationals wish to stay for a longer period or make multiple entries within a six-month period or require other types of visas, they must obtain the necessary visas through the respective representations of the Islamic Republic of Iran in India," the statement added.

However, the visa abolition outlined in this approval specifically applies to Indian nationals who enter the country just through the air border.
